Our blog this month comes to us from Candace Cima of Living Life in My 70s, who has been a guest blogger here before. I always appreciate her wit and wisdom, and this piece especially spoke to me given everything that has happened in my life over the past six months.

Here is one quote that really hit home for me:

“Because moving forward is not about forgetting, it is about allowing yourself to continue becoming who you are meant to be.”

Wise words indeed.

I am often asked how I maintain a positive attitude. The truth is it isn’t something I consciously decided one day. It is something that seems to have unfolded over time until I realized I had adopted a simple philosophy: Embrace and Release. But what does that really mean? To me, it means fully e...

I had the pleasure of speaking with Judy Seeger, host of the Women’s Longevity Summit, about some of the themes I’ll be diving into more deeply during the summit.

In this clip, I share one of them: how to recognize your inner mentor and choose her voice over the inner critic that so often takes the wheel.

This is something I’ll expand on in Day 3 during my session:Finding Yourself Again After 50: Reclaim Your Voice, Identity and Confidence

This month’s blog explores a very different—but deeply connected—idea.

https://lifeshiift.com/2026/04/14/the-courage-to-feel-a-new-kind-of-confidence-in-your-third-act/

Many of us were raised to be “good girls.” To be agreeable. To smooth things over. To keep negative feelings tucked away.

Even now, after decades of change and progress, I still catch myself holding back when something feels uncomfortable or hard.

But what if real confidence comes from allowing ourselves to feel—all of it?

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read it and let me know what you think.

Were you taught to be a “good girl”?

After 50, women’s bodies often need a different approach, a large reason why I became a yoga instructor. That’s why I’m inviting you to join me at the Women’s Longevity Summit, a free online event with real conversations about strength, metabolism, sleep, energy, hormones, brain health, and resilience.

On Day 3, I’ll be speaking about Finding Yourself Again After 50: Reclaim Your Voice, Identity and Confidence — a conversation about reconnecting with who you are in this season of life.

I’d love to have you with us.

Have you been doing all the “right” things and still feeling like your body has changed the rules after 50?

You’re not imagining it. Women’s health in this stage of life deserves better, more honest conversations — and that’s exactly what the Women’s Longevity Summit is about.

This free online event brings together real guidance on rebuilding strength, supporting metabolism, improving sleep, restoring energy, and understanding the hormone and brain health shifts many women are navigating.

I’m honoured to be speaking on Day 3 about:
Finding Yourself Again After 50: Reclaim Your Voice, Identity and Confidence

This is a topic close to my heart, and one I know so many women need.

I hope you’ll come.

And if you’ve been to Puerto Vallarta, I’d love to hear from you.
